Hi there, thanks for keep posting your updated EFI in this thread, since Rramon was banned for some unknown reason - you're the only one who does that for now.

Usually, I update my Hack once a year, and mostly due the latest Final Cut Pro's OS requirement. This is a production machine so I don't want any risk.

But, apparently, Ventura is around the corner, once they release it - FCP most likely will be updated and will require at least Monterey to run it.

I see that you're still on Big Sur, is there any particular reason for holding onto it? Or you're planning on update soon too?

In my case the only issues I see that my Samsung 970 EVO has TRIM and slow boot problems, also heard about low RDNA 2 graphics cards performance comparable to Big Sur. First problem can be solved replacing NVME to a different vendor (forgot which one, guess Rramon mentioned it, but all his posts are gone, sadly), the second one might have been fixed with latest Monterey updates, yet I haven't done any research in this regard.

hello, the reason for being in Big Sur is because it is the most updated operating system that I have and compatible with my DW1560 wifi and bluetooth card.

I am also in Monterey, but for my dw1560 wifi card to work I have not been able to go from version 12.0.1.
I have published on this site efi with monterrey, but I can not continue updating because I lose the dw1560 card.
A compatible M.2 drive is the wester digital black sn750

Everything works.
